City historian at the City of Sydney Council, Lisa Murray is passionate about making history accessible to the public. She writes books, devises walking tours, curates exhibitions, develops websites, and fosters community engagement with and speaks regularly on Sydney’s history. She is the chair of the Dictionary of Sydney (an ambitious digital history project about Greater Sydney), a councillor of the History Council of NSW, and a member of the Professional Historians’ Association. In response to the issues raised by Meriç Algün Ringborg’s Biennale work The Library of Unborrowed Books, Section III: SMSA Library‚ Sydney (2014), Lisa joins us to reflect on the role of the library in our digital age, whether it is in fact facing extinction and how we might record our multitude of ephemeral online data for the future
